Judith 15:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Overcome with fear and trembling, they made no effort to band together in unity, but with one accord they all rushed out and fled by every road across the plain and through the mountains. ³ Those who had been stationed in the hills around Bethulia also took to flight. Then all the Israelite soldiers rushed out in pursuit of them.

⁴ Uzziah sent messengers to Betomasthaim, to Choba and Kona, and to the whole territory of Israel to inform them what had occurred and to urge all of them to attack the enemy and destroy them.
